Recovery of Indigenous probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum Mut-7 on healthy Indonesian adults after consumption of fermented milk containing these bacteria.

ABSTRACT: Probiotics are live microorganisms that confer health benefits on the host when administered in adequate amounts, such as to support the balance of gut microbiota. In this study, the selected indigenous probiotic strain, Lactobacillus plantarum Mut-7, was used as a starter culture to produce fermented milk. A total of 28 healthy Indonesian youngsters and adults (male/female: 16/12; age 19.4-22.9 years old; normal BMI range 18.6-22.7 kg/m²) were supplemented with the fermented milk. This study aimed to determine the recovery of L. plantarum Mut-7 through molecular analysis from the subjects feces after ingestion of 140 mL fermented milk containing 7.0 log₁₀ CFU/ml of L. plantarum Mut-7 for 15 days. Molecular detection was performed using the rep-PC
